The University of Saint Francis is a liberal arts university located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church, the university promotes Catholic and Franciscan values. The school currently enrolls over 1,800 undergraduate students and almost 300 graduate students, the majority of the which come from states in the American Midwest, primarily Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio. The University of Saint Francis was founded by the Sisters of Saint Francis of Perpetual Adoration in Lafayette, Indiana, in 1890. The campus moved to its current Fort Wayne location in 1944 to the estate of the former industrialist John H. Bass. The school has remained in Fort Wayne and has gradually expanded, adding a graduate school in 1960. The university's campus covers 108 acres (0.44 km) and has some 20 buildings, including four residence halls. The Bass Mansion, a castle-like building that was originally the home of the John H. Bass family, is a focal point of the university and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Pope John Paul II Center is also a main place of activity at the university.
